Harriet was featured on BBC Radio York this week as part of National Arthritis Day. Arthritis patients can really benefit from acupuncture treatment, the lastest research shows they can get improvement in both pain and mobility. Joyce Martin, one of Harriet's patients, came along to the studio to talk about her treatment. Joyce is a semi-professional cellist and has arthitis in her knees and hips. When the condition spread to her hands, she was worried that wouldn't be able to play and decided to try acupuncture. After 7 or 8 treatments, she no longer has pain, just some stiffness in the mornings. A top up treatment every 3 weeks or so is keeping Joyce playing her cello to the delight of audiences.
"Recent evidence based research demonstrates that acupuncture is effectve in reducing pain, and can improve function and well-being for many people."
